Though John Carmack offered to
speak at QuakeCon in spite of his
departure from id Software, it turns out the id co-founder will not be
speaking at this year's installment in the gaming gathering. It seems logical
that the lawsuit over his work between id
Software parent Zenimax and his new employer Oculus VR factors into it, but
whatever the reason,
Mr.
Carmack tweeted the following explanation: "Since the question keeps getting
asked -- no, I am not going to be at Quakecon this year. My 2.5 hr talk at SMU
should still be released."
